NOTES FROM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
Centennial Whistle Stop and Festival a Success: “All Aboard,” that was the invitation and
did you ever get on board! I want to say thank you to all of you who helped make Extension’s
Centennial Whistle Stop and Festival such a success. It was beyond my expectations! I want to
thank all of the Extension educators and staff serving on the Centennial Committee who worked
diligently to put this event together. I had an idea, and you made it happen! There is no possible
way that I could begin to name everyone or list everything that was done. I will just say “thank
you” for the magnitude of labor that went into the Centennial Whistle Stop and Festival at
Wellston on April 12. I know it took hundreds of our Extension staff to make this happen -- a lot
of behind the scene activity, our county educators in full force, along with the support from the
faculty and staff in the departments. Seeing everyone pull together an event of this magnitude
just reinforces that this is the Extension way, and it is not only for this one particular event,
this is what you do each and every day – providing meaningful programs to clientele all across
the state of Oklahoma. THANK YOU to each and every one of you!
